HAMILTON, Bermuda, CMC – The Bermuda Olympic Association on Friday confirmed it will send 60 athletes to compete in next month’s Central American and Caribbean Games (CAC) in Puerto Rico, the largest team ever to represent the island at the showpiece.
Triathletes Flora Duffy and Tyler Butterfield and athletes Arantxa King and Aaron Evans are seen as four of Bermuda’s best medal hopes at the Games, to be held from July 17 to August 1.
A dozen bowlers will also be making the trip as will the women’s hockey team, two boxers, and six swimmers.
The Games represent a significant financial undertaking for the BOA, as well as the majority of the athletes, who also have to dig into their own pockets to make the trip to Puerto Rico.
